Date people from California, United States. I love sailing on the Bay, laughing a lot, playing with my grandsons and having family visit, taking photos of nature and sunsets, hearing the ocean, listening to great music, cheering the A's, the Niners and college sports, just spending time with friends. I like to hear a new story that I can embellish and then past on. For all my "happy-go-lucky" exterior I'm really a gentle soul underneath that chokes up at weddings and kid's performances and tears at someone's great achievement. It's been ten years since I've seen it - but Micheal Angelo's 'David' is still one of the greatest works of art - and the Vatican Museum does need to be toured again! (I guess that's my Italian genes!) Hey I got a great Sauce recipe that I got from grandpa Rocco!
As my son-in-law says I'm living a dream. Living on a floating home in the Oakland Estuary (Alameda side) and having my sailboat right out my front door (it's like me - old but a great exterior!). Now I do have to admit that I keep my house on the cool side, One of the great things about moving to the Bay Area was the weather. Coming from the Northeast, I don't miss the cold dry winters and the hot humid summers! I heat the house with a great Pellet Stove which is like having a fireplace going all winter long.
I was off Match for awhile so the pictures are from late Summer 08 - Fall 10. .
The sunset photo is from my top deck and the sunrise - through the sailboat rigging - is off my bedroom balcony - what a place to live!
2010 - above is from end of 2008 thru 2009, back on match for a month since they offered a discount! haven't changed from the pictures except my grandsons are bigger! Working part time doing outside sales which I really enjoy. How about a sail on the old boat or a glass of wine and watch the sunset?
Meet a soulmate from California, United States. Just a nice guy, so real no hang ups.
I still like to have fun with my friends and family

or on T. V.
I like meeting new people, because they will
introduce you to other new people, the chain goes

Date men and women from California, United States. I enjoy cooking and playing bridge. I want to take more tango lessons. I own a home in Puerto Vallarta and spend about 6 months a year living there. The other time I enjoy in my home in Alameda, California. I have a wonderful daughter and 3 grandsons.
Meet people from California, United States. Because I am a lifelong professional oil painterphotographer and still very active, I would hope you have some shared enthusiasm for painting or photography. Also that you are excited by genuine warmth, passion and good old fashioned fun. Plenty of conversation. Even more touch. Everything two people need to make sweet times between a man and woman (if you catch my drift) .
I have traveled a bit....several times to France, Italy, the Netherlands and lived for times in the UK. Evidence can be seen in my paintings. Also dearly love the Northwestern US. More evidence in the paintings.
My politics are progressiveliberal. If that is likely to be a problem for you, please walk on by. I find it sad and troubling that we have reached a state of partisanship in our country that such discloser is necessary...alas, it seems to be so.
